Hello,
to make working with the quilt repository more enjoyable, I have switched from
cvs to git. The entire history has been preserved. You can reach the
repository at http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/quilt.git for browsing, or
you can clone the repositore as follows for anonymous access:
git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/quilt.git
For write access to the repository, as with cvs previously, you have to
register your ssh public key in your Savannah user configuration. After that,
clone the repository with:
git clone ssh://{[email protected]/srv/git/quilt.git
The git repository is identical with the latest version of the cvs repository,
with the following changes (you will see those changes in the topmost
commit):
* I have converted the .cvsignore files to .gitignore.
* The tarball name that "make snapshot" produces will now be similar to what
you get with "git describe --tags", e.g., quilt-0.47-9-g039329a.tar.bz2,
quilt-0.48.tar.bz2, quilt-0.48-dirty.tar.bz2, etc.
* I have tagged the initial git tree is version 0.48.
From an anonymous, read-only user, little changes except that "git clone" is
necessary for the initial checkout, and from within the checked-out git
repository, "git pull" will fetch the latest upstream version. (Git goes a
long way beyond that of course; http://git-scm.com/documentation is a good
place t start reading.)
I have disabled cvs in the project configuration. Checked-out versions of the
old repository still appear to be functional though, I hope that will stop
soon: otherwise, I'll ask the Savannah admins to disable the old cvs
repository so that people won't falsely assume that they have the latest
version.
Regards,
Andreas
